Why Does Eveline Exist?
If you guessed she’s a BOW (Bio Organic Weapon), you’d be spot on, yet it isn’t exactly clear who created her. One of the documents you find late in the game provides a brief history of the project. It was started by a company called NEXBAS (Next-Generation Experimental Battlefield Superiority) for use as a weapon in the year 2000, prior to the events of Resident Evil 6, and not too long after the outbreak in Resident Evil 2’s Raccoon City. For unknown reasons (most likely due to the biological attack in the previous game) NEXBAS was folded and everything was transferred to the company that created Eveline and continued the work of creating a weapon.
They discovered a new fungus after an event which is redacted in their files (but is most likely related to Resident Evil 6) that became the core of this new BOW’s abilities. In order to create a pure specimen, one that they could actually use as a weapon, they injected the fungus, that they refer to as “mutamycete,” into Stage 4 embryos. The form of a young girl was chosen to make it easier to blend in with refugees and other populations.
Upon completing the game, you can see a report stating the purpose of this new “weapon.”
“It takes the form of a child (in this case a girl named Eveline) which can be purchased and raised to suit individual client needs. It’s purpose is mind control – up to and including inducement to violence. Application can vary from political to military to economic destabilization. Method of inducement: Chemical transference of psychotropic compounds via skin to skin contact between Product and Subject inducing a mentally suggestive state in the subject responsive only to Product.”
These little girls were to be sold to governments and other militant forces in order to place enemies under their control.
